Women in the North Central geo-political zone on Wednesday urged President Bola Tinubu not to allow forces of progress to be intimidated.
“The recent action of the Senate leadership can only lead to moral and political disorder.”
They also criticized the leadership of the Senate for contributing to the general frustration of bright and articulate minds in the National Assembly.
“The Senate appears to have become a casual blackboard for juvenile graffiti.”
The women in a statement in Makurdi applauded the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for its stand on the issues in the Senate.
They described the position of the Senate leadership on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as an ascendancy of evil in the country.
“Majority of the senators now find themselves as hostages in the crude hands of the Senate leadership.”
The statement issued by the Chairperson of North Central Women Front (NCWF), Mrs. Mary Adamu lamented the activities of the forces of despotism in the country and the degradation to which Akpoti-Uduaghan has been subjected by the leadership of the Senate.
“Of what use are people who stay put and cowardly allow evil to exist?
The women described Akpoti-Uduaghan as a leading activist and one of the intellectual pillars of the Senate.
Particularly, the North Central women denounced the contention made by the Clerk of the Senate and called on other geo-political zones to join them in freeing the majority of the senators from the clutches of the so-called leadership.
The statement emphasized fascism, crude, beastly nature and style of deciding when to allow Akpoti-Uduaghan to the Senate
